Hello Thrivers:
Today we’re going to keep it short and sweet. Let’s find the essence of the last year and what it represented for you.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - Chinese proverb
We know from research that living a good life is a skill. As with any other skill, you get better with practice. That’s why every week, we share with you, a set of practices that you can engage with, to improve your health and well-being so you can thrive.
It’s most helpful to think of these practices as mini experiments in new ways of thinking and being. You can do one, all of them, or something in between. Try to enjoy each practice, or at least lean into what it has to reveal to you. The hardest and most important part of the process will likely be making time and space for it in your day, week, or month.
Although it may be challenging to make time for your practice – just do it – knowing that it's okay to feel whatever feelings come up. Remember, you are in control. You have the power to adapt or change a practice, stop, or start your journey at any time.
As you embark on this journey of rebuilding your health and well-being, make time. Stay focused. Take each practice moment by moment. As you take the first step and then the next, and the next, you’ll see your health and well-being transform day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year until you’re living and thriving just as you were meant to be.
❇️ Practice
Today, I invite you to reflect on these two questions:
- When you look back on the past year, how would you summarize it in a word, sentence, or short paragraph?
- In a word, what do you hope for in the year ahead?
If you don't already have one, now's the time to invest in a great journal. I get all of my paper journals here. If you prefer to go paperless, try this great journaling app which I've been using happily for many years.
If you enjoyed this practice and want to go deeper, make sure to join us for IntentionHaus™, a year-in-review, reflection, and intention-setting retreat we host at the beginning of each year.
